BUSYNESS

Are you too busy? Do you need more time to get everything done? NASA is planning to help you a little. They have announced an extension to the year. On New Year’s Eve, December 2016, a “leap second” will be added to the world’s official clocks at 11:59:59 effectively making this year 1 second longer than normal. This adjustment is meant to keep atomic clocks in sync with the Earth’s rotation.

While you will not get a lot of benefit from the extra second, this is a good time to reorder priorities to avoid wasting time on those things that may seem urgent but are not important. —Jim L. Wilson and Rodger Russell.

Philippians 4:8–9 (HCSB) “Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable—if there is any moral excellence and if there is any praise—dwell on these things. 9 Do what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, and the God of peace will be with you. “
